The Dorset Care Record is your confidential health and social care record held on a secure online platform and shared by the health and social care organisations in Dorset to help improve the care you receive. Prior to 2018 when the DCR came into being, health and social care organisations in Dorset each held their own set of records about you.
Sharing appropriate information electronically to a single place, will offer direct access for authorised health and social care professionals to provide as full a picture as possible of your history, needs, support and service contacts. It will join records and systems together for the first time in Dorset.
The Dorset Care Record is a key digital tool of the Dorset Integrated Care System (ICS), also known as Our Dorset, an initiative that drives sustainable transformation in health and wellbeing for Dorset residents. This service is designed to provide care closer to home, prevent ill health and reduce inequalities.
